Legends in Concert
By Harold Merton
Legends in Concert - the name says it all!
This is one of the best music shows in Branson. It brings back some of
the greatest names in music for your enjoyment. The most accomplished
individual music entertainers perform in a style that in many cases is
almost identical to the stars they are emulating and when you are in the
audience it is very difficult for you to not think you
are listening to the stars themselves. It makes for a delightful evening.
We had the opportunity to visit Legends when we were in Branson last
April. The show was absolutely fantastic! Acts change four times a year.
When we attended the following were presented: Patsy Cline, The Andrews
Sisters, The Blues Brothers, Elvis, B.B. King and of course Buddy Holly.
The management somehow find the best of entertainers who have done a fabulous job of recreating the style and sounds of the greats. Shows are held at various times 3 p.m., 8 p.m. and at special times a 9:30 p.m. show. You must consult their schedule for exact times and acts. The 2006 schedule runs from February to December with shows everyday but Wednesday until mid May. In June, July and August they present shows every day. You can access their calendar at www.legendsbranson.com This year's Spring acts (Feb.3 to May 24) include: Neil Diamond, Marilyn Monroe, The Blues Brothers, Alan Jackson, Shania Twain, Diana Ross and Elvis Presley.
